and in terms of foreign policy, social policy. we have a central right republican party and central left democratic party, which are divisions, and i hope this election is a policy-heavy, at issue-heavy election. i worry it will not be because campaign operatives takeover in both parties, and we end up with idiotic sideshows and little debate, but the country deserves a serious debate about entitlement reform, tax policy, the best way to stop iran from getting nuclear weapons, the supreme court appointments, all the issues, and i'm somewhat optimistic that now that the republicans are through the primaries, and president obama, of course, did not have a primary -- that is another thing i'm happy about. i'm sorry buddy is here instead of doing what he should have done which is run against president obama to give liberals a voice. obama is liberal about seven things, and it does lead and sailed through nominations. very unfortunate. more unfortunate, i think incumbent presidents who do not have a primary challenger are more likely t
